Great property!

We enjoyed our time here. Great backyard! As noted that a room is locked, u can't get to the pool from the room that is closed off, which would be so nice to not have to go to the backyd, from the front door, but the river is right there and u can hear it, which is even better. We had to drive to fish, because of grandkids are a lil young to hike that route but it was overall great!

Wonderful

We had an amazing time! The house was very spacious and clean. We loved having our private pool overlooking the river. The gazebo was awesome for afternoon cookout by the pool. We highly recommend this property. JP the owner was very helpful and responded in a timely fashion!

River view

We stayed for 3 nights & we only left to eat out once. What a view of the river! The whole family spent the whole time in the pool & enjoying the view. If you bring enough food & drinks you won't need to leave at all. Even my daughter noticed how relaxing the sound of the river is. She wouldn't normally notice these things. Great house & overall great experience.

Nice views by the pool.

Very nice location, pool/patio was nice small refrigerator out by the pool was great for snacks and drinks in 90+ weather. You cannot beat the view and sound of the river 5 stars for that. My only complaints was most of the window coverings were not functional and you could not close them. Some were also broken. There is no lock on the master bedroom door. Other great stuff is kitchen has everything you needed. Refrigerator has an ice maker which was nice. We prepared most of our food at the home and used the grill by the pool for dinners. We also loved the large table by the pool and grill to eat our dinners. Wi-Fi is not that great just for emails, and we could not watch much tv which was fine. My husband had a Teams meeting and he was able to connect using our personal hotspot. FYI there are a lot of stairs to get to the pool I think about 20, and there are 3 levels in the home. This is not a problem for most but for frail elderly or wheelchair bound this would not be a good place. There are 4 bedrooms all nice 3 on 3rd level upstairs and 1 downstairs 1st level, which my old teen enjoyed. The host were great to communicate with.

The pool was great. Hanging outside when it was not over 90 degrees was great. I loved hearing the river. Kids did not want to get out of the pool.

View and pool that will blow your mind!

This property is truly one of a kind. The house is large and easily accommodates multiple families. It is an older home, so don't expect a ton of bells and whistles. But it is clean and large. The property is absolutely stunning! The view in the back of the home over the river valley looks like a computer background and the pool area was THE highlight of our trip. The property manager, Maria, is great to work with and very available throughout the process. Overall, a 5-star property, and we will be back!

Great time in Valley Springs

The family and I really enjoyed our stay here. The property was conveniently located to our destinations, and kept us entertained while at the house. Will definitely stay again in the future.

Nice getaway from the city

The house was nice and pretty much isolated. Pool was nice too but unfortunately it did rain on one of the days we were here. This place would be perfect for the summer especially with it having a pool. Outdoor deck is a nice area to relax and enjoy the scenery. Even had deers walk by the back while we were bbqing. Just a few mosquitoes, other than that we enjoyed out stay.

Home away from home

I booked this home for my husbands birthday weekend. He wanted to go fishing so I was looking for something close to the lake and accessible to water. Maria and Jp were very responsive and accommodating through my whole experience. I had many questions before I booked and they were very quick to answer back. The home was very clean, and had plenty of space for my group of 8. The house was also stocked with plenty of dishes and condiments I needed for the weekend. The view from the house is absolutely breath taking as well and made the home feel very cozy and welcoming. Even though Maria suggested the lake close by for fishing my husband was able to do most of his fishing down at the river, all 4 men caught many trout! The hike down to the river is not for the faint but it is very manageable. I really don’t have any cons to say about the house. At one point the wifi did stop working but we were having such a good time we didn’t even notice. It didn’t effect anyone and I didn’t reach out to Maria and Jp to ask to fix the problem. If I absolutely had to say this awesome house was missing something the only thing I could say would be a hot tub. Other then that everything was perfect! We had the best weekend in this beautiful house and we absolutely can’t wait to go back!

Great place to stay with family and friends

The place was great. It surprised us with the view and location. The only challenge was that pool was cold even though it was sunny. I wish they had a headted pool or I would not recommend the place if you are going for the pool. We had barbeque and some amazing time with friends / family - its a nice get away not too far from the bay and the location is nice. We all enjoyed the stay and would recommend the place.

Great getaway

We just returned from a fabulous weekend getaway with friends at this great home. It really does have a stunning view, and the whole outdoor area is spacious, relaxing and comfortable. Sitting by the pool and listening to the river run by down below made it feel like a resort setting. Inside, the four bedrooms were comfortable and spacious. The kitchen isn't large but it had plenty of space to cook large meals, and we used the grill as well. We loved having the big table outside for dinners and the covered lounge area. Note that we were visiting in the fall when the weather was nice. Hot, but not too hot, so it was perfect for enjoying the outside.

Family Fun

This was the perfect size for our family of ten. My husband and I stayed at our home next door, and our children and their spouses stayed at the VRBO. The living room was big enough for all of us to be able to sit and talk. There were two tables, which fit all ten of us inside, and there were tables outside, which also accommodated ten. There were plenty of plates, silverware, pans, cooking utensils, glasses and knives. The outside area was spacious and offered shade, if needed. The pool was large enough for everyone, and pool toys and beach towels were provided. The view was gorgeous, and plenty of lounge chairs offered a chance to enjoy it. We shalll definitely return!

Valley Springs

As there are few properties in the area, this one is the best. The back yard pool and cabana are very family friendly with a magnificent view if the Calaveras river. The house is a bit dated inside with an older kitchen, but newer appliances. Plenty of room, but a lot of stairs. Bring your exercise shoes!. Bedrooms and beds were comfortable and roomy. All in all a great family retreat.

Good choice for adult groups

When we arrived there was no Wi-Fi enabled; hosts were responsive and the Wi-Fi was turned on within 24 hours of our arrival. The house is nicely decorated with several fragile glass pieces. Outdoor spaces are very welcoming and views are amazing.

Excellent Family Enviroment

We were in town for our daughters wedding. We had plenty of room to host the bridal shower the day of the wedding. Very nice and relaxing setting just like the pictures showed. I would recommend this property for a nice relaxing weekend with a pool.

Perfect Getaway!

We really enjoyed having a cup of coffee out on the deck in the mornings, listening to the sound of the river and the wildlife around us. We attended a family wedding in the area, and this house was PERFECT for us - plenty of space for my husband and I, my sister, my 3 nieces (one was the bride), and one other couple. Luckily there were also 3 bathrooms so the ladies could all get ready at the same time... :-) We would definitely stay here again, Maria and JP were fantastic hosts!

Good property for 5 friends

Property manager had mixed up the date of arrival and the house wasn’t ready when we arrived. Took a couple of hours to clean while we waited by the pool. The living room furniture wasn’t conducive to watching TV comfortably but we didn’t really want to watch much TV. The pool area was very nice. Some of the kitchen cookery/dishes weren’t very clean and we ended up washing most things before use. The owner was pleasant.

Great Valley Springs Experience

We had a wonderful time hanging out by the pool, bbqing, and relaxing at this wonderful house. The house was very clean and comfortable, and had everything we needed, especially for cooking and dining. The view from the backyard/pool area was beautiful, and we saw lots of local nature/animal life (at a safe distance) such as turkeys, quails, and deer. Thank you Maria and JP for a fantastic time!

Relaxing Mountain Getaway

Loved getting away to a relaxing pool in the mountains after being locked up with the pandemic for the past year. This was our family's first lengthy vacation away and we loved the fact that we are so close to the Bay Area but felt like we were in our own paradise staying here. You can hear the Calaveras River rushing below while swimming in their gorgeous pool. Thank you, we had an awesome trip!
